Tough new Flexalloy ® PVC elastomer
compounds to be introduced by
Teknor Apex provide manufacturers
of charger cable for electric vehicles
(EVs) with cost-effective alternatives
to premium-priced elastomers such as
TPUs in insulation and jacketing.
Flexalloy 89504-90 is a 90 Shore
A formulation for insulation, and
Flexalloy 9610-78 for jacketing has a
Shore A hardness of 78. The materials
exhibit brittle points of -46 and -38ºC,
respectively, and are both rated for
a maximum continuous operating
temperature of 105ºC.
Unlike standard vinyl, Flexalloy
compounds are based on ultra high
molecular weight PVC resin. They
exhibit improved toughness, abrasion
resistance, and low temperature
properties and provide elastomeric
resilience and resistance to
compression set. They are processed
on standard PVC equipment.
The new Flexalloy products meet the
requirements of UL Type EVE for the
high production volumes and rugged
end use performance posed by EV
charger cable.
